Here are some 715 logs.

 

the driver loads very unstable - won't work this way

try to hack the iosleep() var

boot with -s and call networkselector to start a scan

move networkselector.app from xcode project folder to /

them type

kextload /iwi3945.kext

wait... for it to load

you'll get lots of debug messages

./networkselector

press the option to scan and press enter

 

i see a mistake on a kp picture

after boot with -s

you need to type sh /etc/rc for mac os to load

them wait for it to finish

and type kextload /iwi3945.kext

 

i'm still no shure but my guess in code is that driver scanning is independent of station scanning

i.e., the station scan only ocurs after the station is associated

[lastsoft]

ok.

i got testing with IOSleep(500)

 

got kp as soon as i start scanning.

 

i heres the syslog.

systemIOSleep500.txt

 

ill try 2000 now.

[mlazy]

Hey,

 

Excellent instructions. I used the -s method, but "sh /etc/rc" doesn't work. Tells me file or folder not found or something like that. any other ideas? (running 10.5.2) I did the kextload anyway, took a picture of it. Did a scan, complained that the card was not ready.

 

 

Oh, and no KP after almost 10 mins and several scans. I didn't adjust the iosleep from the project at all.

[ulyanov77]

the driver is very close to start working

This is very exciting to hear. Thanks for all of everyone's hard work!

[jalavoui]

Oh, and no KP after almost 10 mins and several scans. I didn't adjust the iosleep from the project at all.

 

system.log from driver start please

maybe you get lucky with the scan

as anyone tryed to patch the code?

[lastsoft]

jalavoui.

i got it on -s it got stack as soon as it scans.

heres a pic.

i forgot - IOSLEEP(5000)

[mlazy]

Jalavoui,

 

That's just it, I don't see anything in the system.log about the single user boot. Also, /etc/rc was dropped in favor of launchd for 10.5. I'll try again now.

[jalavoui]

i'll try a hack and upload to svn

[mlazy]

Yeah, There's a "black hole" in my system log while I'm in sigle user mode. But, I did score a kernel panic while exiting netselector after loading and scanning with it.

 

[jalavoui]

iwi3945 rel 716

add iosleep fix and auto-scan

don't need networkselector the scan should start auto

try a few reboots if you get a kp

you can try to put iwi3945.kext in system/library/preferences (fix permissions)

and add it to system preferences -> network

the card must be recognized by mac os x before it start to work

and you need to unplug all other network connections before testing iwi3945

[nazrm]

Great job so far jalavoui (and other testers + developers)!! Ill see if I can start testing aswell

[jalavoui]

why are you all connected to this thread?

disconnect and go test iwi3945

[imwithalwood]

I'm trying my best to test but I guess im doing something wrong. Anyways I opened terminal and did svn checkout to get all the files. clicked on the .dmg file to install it and then restarted. When i restarted i checked my network in preferences (nothing new) and then clicked on network selector in my applications. i got this: Last login: Tue Apr 15 16:58:28 on ttys000

/Applications/networkSelector ; exit;

benny-lavas-mac-pro:~ Benn$ /Applications/networkSelector ; exit;

Unhandled transform (1) for ioctl group = 78 (N), number = 3, length = 100

Illegal instruction

logout

 

[Process completed]

 

anyways I did the get logs command and ill post them, they prolly wont help though because it seems like i did it wrong. No KP btw.

up for 5 mins, no KP! I have an EN interface for it, but the state remains "not plugged in" where to next fearless leader?

[jalavoui]

imwithalwood,

 

you need to delete the old .dmg

after choose build in xcode to create a new one

xcode place iwi3945.kext on /

to test

reboot

kextload /iwi3945.kext

 

mlazy,

thanks for your hard work testing my bugs

 

 

iwi3945 rel 717

the driver is very unstable when first loading

maybe this make it work better

initial bugs from last log shows it is not working

 

there's still lots of things to test

we need more people posting logs

i can always use someone with ideas to patch the source code

 

what's missing:

make the driver do stable scans

get probe responses from open networks

associate

get an ip address

this is all very easy to do - don't worry

 

please post initial drive log lines

 

if you get this in logs

error iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008.

better reboot and test again

the driver recover from this error but it fails working correctly if initial startup fails

Thank you. now i can test and post results

mlazy,

No Problem, you are the one doing all of the work. Thanks for working on this project, I'm just happy to help. Are you doing this just for the challenge? I know you are on an imac G3, so what's the angle for you?

[jalavoui]

i've just changed the xcode script to fix permissions for /iwi3945.kext

it should load the driver nicely

 

i don't remember the svn rel version

 

yaps - i must be crazy for writting code for a card i don't have

 

to know how to help posting logs - read few pages back

 

zzzz... waiting for logs

hey! what about people who really want to help this project, but has a f....g small version of leo, and doesn't have xcode, or a {censored} compiler to build the driver? (is it my fault? I can compile on linux.. should be the same!)

I'm looking to this post every day for a compiled version to try it and post my KPs. tell me one thing, am I losing my time 'cause if I don't compile it on my pc it's useful? or what?

thanks for aswering. and sincerely for the project..

off to make dinner

[jalavoui]

good point there

ok guys

when you post logs

also post iwi3945.kext for people to test

the iwi3945 cards are not all the same and we can get better results this way

 

mlazy, if you have a gmail account pm me so i can add you to iwidarwin

you can upload .dmg to svn - this will help development

 

iwi2200

just remembered that i need someone with

mac os x 10.4.x to get the svn, build and post the .dmg so i can update it

mac os x 10.5 - same thing

 

 

iwi3945 is getting worst results

don't test it - i'll upload a new release to svn

i think i get what's wrong this time

please wait...

[FurmanSK]

Guys I'd love to help but I'm on campus and since the frickn network is hidden i can't select "Join another network" like usually for airport. How could I code this up and make this an option for the drivers for IntelPro 2200b/g?

 

Thanks for the work Jalavoui. Very impressive since you don't even have the card lol. My hats off to you.

link to lownload xcode: http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/

(by the way... you might have to register to download - just click the register button at the top its FREE!)

 

attached are two things 1. getlogs.command gathers the logs and 2. damian.command will automatically download compile and load the kext.

 

install xcode, run damian.commmand wait for the kp, reboot, then run getlogs.command and post them here. simple enough for everyone!

 

tip: the system.txt can get pritty big you might have to zip to post.

 

by the way...I got immediate KPs every time I tried to load here are my logs for the day, I gotta get back to work.

less bugs on driver first load

this one as the old iosleep in start()

i've add 4000 - try other values if it makes the driver more stable when loading

what's the goal here:

- get no errors when the driver first loads

- leave it scanning

- goto next step: associate, etc

 

can someome post the build kext for testing?

 

here's a very nice script (need to have mac os x 10.5, svn and xcode installed to work:

thanks Tin_man_0

 

iwi2200

the hidden essid can be set as a parameter to nsgui - not hard to do. i'll give it a try

nop - i'll need iwi2200 logs of a hidden network first

[dab77]

ok! thank you guys for explanations.

I didn't get the xcode on apple site yet, cause i tought they first checked the installation. win style...sorry!

 

..but I'm gonna help tomorrow with my logs...here it's one o'clock by night, and tomorrow work waits..

 

thank you again. bye!

 

EDIT:

now donloading xcode....

was so simple?!? damn..
